2010 Carpineto Chianti Classico Riserva
3/1/2016 - baseballvino Likes this wine: 87 Points
Ruby red appearance with no signs of bricking.
Dark red fruit on the nose with rustic forest floor on the nose.
Tart, sour dark cherry with high acidity. Fine tannins present but little other real structure. Herbal notes predominate on the finish.
A rustic wine that is classic Chianti with lots of rough edges as expected.
The down side is that, while the overall wine is pure Chianti it's too rustic. There isn't any smoothness. This wine requires food. It's not a sipping wine. I like it but it needs tomato/olives/something to soften the edges. It is a good food wine.

Young, with so much promise. One of my favorite Napa Cabs. Great depth of flavor
This will be better in about 3 years and may peak in about 5.
